I posted a similar list in the past,
and I think it is worth posting a number of the books I didn't read in
2011. Now, the actual list is absurdly long, but this is a decent
representation of books I would have liked to have read and, for various
reasons, never did.

For the sake of keeping this list manageable, I limited it to genre
books. If I browsed through listings of LitFic and Nonfiction, well,
the list would be absurd. Even strictly genre, I could probably grow triple this list with ease. Let's just say that reading 135 books in a year doesn't get you as far as you might think, even if all you read were books published that year (which I didn't)
